What was your "LaSt MeAl"?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anyone had anything special that they ate that maybe you didn't think you should eat after surgery?

I think this could be fun just to see what everyones faves are!

Thanks!

XOXO

Well the day before surgery I had some king crab legs and that was it. I really didn't over do it the day before surgery. I was actually one of the few that didn't have to do the liquid diet so I could've eaten whatever I wanted but I chose not to.

I ate steak and roasted asparagus before starting my 2 week liquid pre-op diet.

My last meal before starting the liquid diet was Beef and Peppers Lo Mein with Crab Rangoons and Fortune Cookies from a local Chinese restaurant.

OH! It all sounds so good! I don't know what I am going to have before I start my 2 week pre surg diet. I'm not sure when I am having surgery.

I want to asap, my husband wants me to wait til after the holidays so that while our company is here we don't have to worry about something going wrong and me ending up in the hospital or something.

I want to do it the first week of Dec. which would give me almost 4 weeks before anyone is here for the holidays.

Any thoughts? Maybe I should make a new post about it?

I had given some thought to a last splurge, as many had talked about in the support group I was attending. Soon enough it occurred to me that it was a dumb idea -- for me. "What's the point of eating like an maniac one more time? If I'll be giving it up for a purpose, does one more time have meaning?" The answer was a loud "No!"

In the case of eating specific food, but not necessarily to excess, that, too, made no sense. Nothing that I might have to give up in the future seemed so important that I couldn't forget about it on the spot.

I never planned on giving up the foods I loved so I never had food funerals or a "last meal". And although I restricted certain foods while I was losing, I now again eat everything and anything....in moderation, of course.

I actually came to the same in conclusion; but I thought it would be fun to see what everyone would eat if it was in fact, their last meal.

I honestly don't remember what my last pre-surgery meal was. I didn't do any food funerals or farewell meals. I was already practicing my post-op eating and told I wouldn't have to give up any foods I currently ate.

Lobster is my favorite but also expensive. From the research I've done I don't think after surgery I'll be able to enjoy a whole tail. So I plan to have a lobster tail and some green veggies

I start my pre-op diet this weekend, and since thanksgiving is right in the middle of it my family decided to move thanksgiving to last Saturday so I could enjoy it. That was a good enough last meal for me!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
